Google Classroom

A few of my colleagues have asked me to do a post about Google Classroom. I've played with it a little bit, but I do have to admit I haven't really used it yet. We use Hapara Teacher Dashboard at our school and I thought I didn't need Google Classroom because of that. I'm finding now that while I don't NEED it, they can be very powerful when used together and I'll be exploring that next year. Regardless of whether or not you use Hapara...cough cough...if you have Google Apps you really should...cough cough...Google Classroom can be a really effective tool.

Instead of making a post about Google Classroom, I'm going to send you directly to the master. Alice Keeler is one of my Ed Tech Heroes. She is a Google Certified Teacher and a Google Classroom rockstar. If Google Classroom can do it, she knows how. If you are on Twitter, follow her - @AliceKeeler. Even if you aren't on Twitter, you can check out her blog, Teacher Tech. She even has a book that she co-authored, 50 Things You Can Do With Google Classroom.

She has an entire section of her blog focused just on Google Classroom, which you can access by clicking here. Check it out, look around, and be inspired!
